  • Aw hunnybear - scoring and the cold and yukky throat - and NO pizza - you poor bear.

    xxxxxxx hope your soak makes you feel better!

    Budgie as always lovie you say the sweetest and most thoughtful things - as I am now prone to thinking - if life gives you lemons - make lemonade - there's positive stuff in it all

    Well done on the AF weekend - HB I am on 13 :)

    Just been to the movies :) I love a good '..... we've stuffed up the planet the end of the world is nigh kinda movie' - plot was funny and utterly nonsensical but the effects were awesome and a good feel good factor - humans it would seem are nice after all.

    To those of you about later ICM, Maman, FUAS :grinheart fedupsparkles! :grinheart (love it!)
    etc - I hope you've had a great evening. I've appreciated all your posts very much.
    Waves to BHB - and nice to see you

    Sends Winebox a GPS and lets her know the way back

    Lurks hope the pizzas went well - Heath a big wave

    Saorsie I hope you're good and nice to see you posting

    YM - the blue bottled diptera is now dancing (you know what I mean)!

    Honey bear - I'm glad you're here to score for me!

    RA thanks for some links to some interesting things and will have a look through the book titles you left - it was very kind of you to take the time to do them for us - I am especially grateful to you for that.

  • Hello everyone

    You know of all the things I read on the net - this thread is such a comfort and support to so many people in so many different guises.

    I poured a glass of wine tonight - I literally had three tiny sips - and gave it to my hubby - I don't want to go there again with all those old feelings so don't think it counts as 8th AF day but I have never ever done that before. I have always slugged it back no matter how horrid the wine. So am feeling very proud and almost tearful..

    Hugs and huge thanks to everyone - whatever you write seems to be the 'right' thing iyswim.

    This thread is becoming a big part of my life.

  • Some excellent posts today.

    Reinforces the idea that alcohol has no good to play in my life.

    It's a powerful feeling to make that choice and I am so grateful that I made it before it was too late.

    Big squeezes to all!

    And 16 AF for me.

    thanks for your support and kind words, mum had a blood transfusion today after being transfered to a more local nhs(ish) hospital as she was initially sent to the nearest a&e which was private. will ring her later.

    on a good note I went to the coop for my 8.30 pm bargains on a saturday evening with no cravings for the wine isle! got a magazine and had a fizz bomb bath!

    16 af pls

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
